Nigeria loses over 400 'innocent' citizens to accidental bombing

Since 2017, the Nigerian military has been accused of killing around 409 unarmed civilians in airstrikes targeting terrorists in the northern part of the country. Notable incidents include the bombing of an IDP camp in Rann in January 2017, which resulted in at least 115 deaths. Other strikes, such as those in Gidan Sama and Rumtuwa in December 2024, also led to civilian casualties, prompting reactions from local authorities and international organizations.
